Best practices to optimize AdMob demand to earn more

A top request we get from app publishers is to provide guidance on how to achieve the optimal mediation setup to maximize ads revenue. This can be a daunting task as it requires careful and continuous experimentation. Changing advertiser behaviors, seasonality, and traffic fluctuation also play a role in how you should configure network rankings and CPM assignments in your waterfall. 

In this post, we will share some best practices to help you optimize mediation setup and get the most out of the AdMob network.

Maximize inventory value by increasing competition in the mediation stack

Creating sufficient competition in your mediation stack is key to earning more revenue from your ad network partners, including AdMob. Below are some general guidelines to help you get there.  

  1. Analyze network performance using historical data to understand the baseline value of each network. Remember to segment by format and geography because it is likely that your winning network will vary by region. 
  2. Group ad sources with similar eCPM together in your waterfall. This will drive up network competition most effectively to help you maximize yield. 
  3. Monitor network performance and adjust ranking based on how they’re performing. For example, if certain networks are trending downward, switch them with other networks that are trending up. 
  4. Swap ad network positioning in your waterfall to understand which ad network can produce higher expected revenue, then order your waterfall accordingly to earn more. 

Optimize performance of the AdMob network with multiple calls

Multiple calls is the practice where app publishers call the same network multiple times for a single ad request as a way to maximize inventory access and earn more. When working with AdMob mediation, we recommend using Ad Network Optimization (ANO) as it can help you optimize revenue across multiple networks automatically. AdMob allows up to three calls for the same ad request. For publishers who are interested in calling Google from third-party mediation platforms, below are some general guidelines.

  1. Set up three baseline calls to test high, middle, and low price tiers. For the high-tier call, place it at the very top of your waterfall. We recommend setting a floor price at the same CPM as your highest line-item. For the medium-tier call, place it at about 50 percent of the top call’s floor price. As for the low-tier call, place it near the bottom of the waterfall to allow Google to fill at almost any floor price. 
  2. Make sure there’s an adequate range of CPM price difference between the calls to drive up the floor price effectively instead of adding more calls.
  3. Continue to test floor prices and ad formats with a small percentage of your inventory to capture any upward trends to earn more. 

As we can see from the above, this approach requires a lot of time commitment from publishers. If you’re looking to reduce time spent optimizing your performance, we recommend taking advantage of the AdMob platform. We offer many built-in features to help you optimize demand across Google and many other ad network partners more effectively. Instead of making manual updates to manage the waterfall, you can turn on ANO to automate that process. Mediation a/b testing is another great feature for you to test and refine your waterfall setup. AdMob also offers an in-app real time bidding solution called Open Bidding to help publishers maximize revenue. If you’re interested to know more about Open Bidding or the a/b testing feature, please talk to your account manager. To get started with mediation, simply log in to your AdMob account.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ

"nvfbc plugin window" preventing Windows 10 shutdown.

So yeah, the title says it all.. When i try to shut down or restart my PC, I get a screen saying a program is preventing shut down. But I don't know what to do to fix it. I found a script on a steam forum about how to disable or enable NVFBC but that doesn't have any effect. Any ideas? Submitted January 19, 2018 at 12:40AM by Wickedld http://ift.tt/2DsOvwR
